The Autonomous University of Barcelona celebrates the 1st Heritage Week
The UAB is promoting a week of participatory activities to rediscover and activate its heritage with the leadership of students.
The Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) is celebrating the 1st Heritage Week from April 13 to 17, an initiative that aims to highlight its cultural and artistic legacy through a wide program of activities.
The project was born with the desire to give visibility to the richness and diversity of the university's heritage – artistic, landscape, documentary, bibliographical, scientific-technical, historical-educational and intangible –, activating it as a living space of knowledge and experience.
For five days, the campus is transformed into a territory of discovery and reflection, where conferences, guided tours, presentations, workshops and exhibitions invite you to explore this heritage from multiple perspectives and disciplines.
The main role falls on the students, who have designed and will lead most of the activities, also assuming public mediation with the attendees. This direct involvement is part of the teaching innovation project Managing heritage from the classroom: a learning based on challenges applied to the artistic context of the UAB , directed by Carles Sánchez Márquez, which introduces learning methodologies based on challenges within the degrees in Art History and Humanities.
The campus heritage becomes a direct resource for learning, analysis and intervention, reinforcing the connection between teaching, research and the university environment. The initiative proposes a horizontal conception of knowledge, where education is constructed collectively and where any agent can become a participant in the process, regardless of their academic role.
